Barragem do Porcão

Vila Nova de Monsarros, Anadia

Presentation

Barragem do Porcão is in Vila Nova de Monsarros. This dam is 25 meters high and is partly filled by Ribeira do Porcão. It plays an important role in supplying water to the county watering system, when the Rio da Serra (river from the Mountain) is not enough to provide the needs of agriculture in the fields. It is also used in supplying water during the forest fire season.
